The Best Eating In Barretto and Baloy Beach.

The following are the restaurants in Barrio Barretto and Baloy Beach I can recommend in one way or another.

There are no doubt good restaurants that I have not been to in the last year that could be on the list.
If anyone wants to add a restaurant or add to the Best Of List...... feel free to do so.

Mango's - This is my #1 without question. I eat there two or sometimes three times per week. The menu is large and the food is excellent.
The employees are very friendly. The beach side atmosphere is very pleasant.

Dryden Cantina: A wide variety of food. They have the best Mexican food, in my opinion. Also my favorite pizza is there. The chef/manager is one
of the best in town.

Sit-N-Bull - A long time favorite with a large menu and lots of good comfort food. I usually have one of the many daily specials. I have never been disappointed.

Arizona - Their
menu is large and the food is good. It has been a favorite of mine since my first trip. The Chicken Curry might be the best in town.

Treasure Island - Great setting by the pool and under the palms looking out to the bay. I have
had several great meals there. The service is good. The pizza also rates high with me.

Palm Tree - The largest menu in town, though everything is not always available. I call the menu an encyclopedia. I have had nothing but
excellent there. The cooks know what they are doing. The Sunday roasts are excellent. It is nice in the early evening to sit out on the deck.

Angel's Bakery - There is a small kitchen and the food is good and well priced. The bakery
goods are by far the best in town.

Playa Papagayo - A lovely outdoor garden setting. Small menu. They have Mexican food. The large chicken quesadillas are excellent. The fried chicken is excellent. The service is very professional.

Mangrove - I just recently went there for the first time, even though the hotel has been open for several years. The restaurant and setting is gorgeous. The meals my GF and I had were extremely good. I am looking forward to trying more
dishes.

The Pub - The menu is large, because you can also order from the Dryden Cantina menu. There is now a pool table and plans to open a sushi bar.

Cassandra's - Best authentic Italian food.

Blue Rock - I have been there once the past year. The chicken was excellent, so the restaurant is on the list. My friends enjoyed their meals.

Harley's - Not a fancy place, but they have some beers
other places don't have and the food I have had has been good. It is another good place for sitting out on the deck looking out to the bay.

Coffee Shop - One of the most popular restaurants in Barretto. They are famous for their
Jumbo Tacos. They are cheap and not bad (for the price). They have American food and you can eat on the garden patio.

Midnight Rambler - The Thai food is good. It is pleasant to sit on the patio in the back.

Shamboli's - Good pizza and some other items are good.

Rico's - This is mainly a Filipino type place with a daily buffet. I don't eat there often, but I like their Bagnet and Chopsuey.

The
Best Of List:

Best all around restaurant - Mango's

Best pizza - Dryden Cantina (this is the most competitive category). Treasure Island and Shamboli's are close seconds.
